Agreed. (One could make the same argument against formatting guidelines
for any normal programming language as well. This is just about
readability/maintainability rules.)

I believe this is about the format style of the xml files (i.e lines vs.
tabs, indentation size, max line size, etc). I don't see any harm in fixing
that and I think that is a good idea.

With XML, I *very strongly* discourage any formatting guidelines, aka
syntax rules. XML is about semantics. Syntax is something you'll
sooner or later end up struggling against.

I found this e-mail about formatting XML [1] in our old google group
mailing list. Do we want to use these formatting guidelines for our
project? If so, should we add this to our directions for setting up
eclipse. :-)
